Frozen pizzas are manky

DS86DS

Does anyone else find frozen pizzas from the supermarkets to be horrible and bland? Personally feel the only decent pizza is from a takeaway or restaurant.

I find some nice and some not nice.

Tell us something we don't know OP

If you must go the way of frozen pizza may I suggest 4 cheeses, it's hard to mess that up, and then buy some decent ham and mushrooms and apply them yourself.

Someone was watching BBC 2 earlier with their how pizzas are made programme.

I just thought that as I walked around the supermarket was considering buying one then looked at them and was like these all looked manky....so I bought beer instead

Aldi and Lild do lovely ones. But the frozen ones are 1/4 of the price of takeaway ones or even less so you have to adjust your expectations!

Theres no such thing as bad pizza for me. I am pizza agnostic. I love all the pizzas.

You could bite into it too early and burn the mouth of yourself

Man after my own heart, but it's lardons and jalapenos for me. Chicago town takeaway for life....

I get the cheese pizzas, and add some Lea and perrins , some Italian herb, and whatever is in the fridge... Mushrooms, peppers, onion, pineapple, sweet corn, ham, pepperoni, some extra cheese or mozerela.... Whatever is there.

The best frozen pizza is the one you pick up at 3am from Spar on the way home from town, bung it in the oven, stay awake to take it out of the oven 5 minutes before it's ready, fold it in half and stuff it in yer face!

You clearly have never had a Chicago Town frozen pizza. Try the tomato stuffed crust pepperoni one it's delicious.

Never heard of that. Most people just get a chipper from my experience

OP probably hasn't cooked it right.
Like not letting the oven pre-heat for 10 mins first.

Depends what frozen pizza it is. They have grown on me. Prefer them to the really thin ones our local pizza place does

We have a pizza cooking expert here.

I leave the pizza thaw out, add my own mozzarella, rocket, tomatoes ham, olives etc....not bad, cooks in 7 mins.

Riddle101

Yeah I often buy frozen pizza but have never really liked most of them. I've taken to getting my pizzas made up at a supermarket nowadays. Either that or I order them from a takeaway.

The base reminds me of crackers.

Carlos' spinach and ricotta form Aldi is the biz man for 2 quid. They also have jars of grated hard parmesan in from time to time, keep one of those handy to sprinkle on.

With frozen pizzas the key is not to overcook.

The delux / specailly selected ones found in the fridge in supervalu or aldi are actually pretty decent , just add a bit of fresh rocket or mushroom and they are a good inexpensive choice.

Cheese pizzas are ok. It's when there is loads of toppings on that it just doesn't work, with the exception of pepperoni. Also I hate onions on a pizza, onions and dough, yummy.

You do have to defrost them first.

I like the musclefoods ones. I think im alone in that though

Pineapple has no business being on a pizza. Same as tomato on a fry. Just wrong.

Aldi Stonebaked Double Pepperoni for 65c is delicious.

Got a brand called Saturday Pizza.

Was expensive enough compared to Aldi / Lidl.

Was gorgeous.https://saturdaypizzas.com/where-can-i-buy/

Agree with this, closest one to a take away pizza. All the rest I wouldn't go near they just taste hideous and the crust is never right on them, Chicago town stuffed crust pepperoni all the way.

What if you dont like mushrooms and/or ham?

Hard a Pizza in Milanos today for €18. Not sure if it was nine times better than some frozen ones.

Make them at home, only job

Aldi stonebaked pepparoni are not bad, I fling on some chilli flakes. They’re only like 70p. I’m sure it’s made up of actual food stuffs but I’d be a bit afraid to read the box.

Who the fcuk is Dr Oetker and why is he making pizzas? Doctors should stick to their real jobs treating patients and working in hospitals. This is just another example of a selfish doctor working for the private sector!

As with a lot of things homemade will always beat frozen.
Several posters have advocated "pimping" your frozen pizza with extras of your choice which is an acceptable compromise.

Goodfellas meaty feast isn't a bad shout. If you want a good pizza to cook yourself go to the deli counter in your local SuperValu, if it used to be a superquinn it will make up a delicious pizza that only takes 10 minutes to cook.

The only one I like is the CHICAGO TOWN TAKEAWAY STUFFED CRUST PIZZA (sorry for caps, copy and paste from SuperValu site)

Love Milanos pizza but not their frozen ones.

What did you think of the Dr Oetker pizzas?

Aldi do à fairly good frozen pizza with goat's cheese and spinach. Well I like it anyway.

Dr Oetker's pollo is decent enough too. It's about 16 quid cheaper than ordering a Domino's so you can't be expecting a miracle either.

AllForIt

I like Tesco's 1 euro pepperoni pizza.

You don't get a box, just plastic wrapping which is why it's so cheap :pac:

Takeaway pizza is obviously better, but it's nowhere near better enough to justify the price difference to supermarket stuff.

1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 cup natural youghert
Splash of rape seed oil

Mix and need for 10minutes

Makes a 12” pizza

Passata for the tomato sauce

Stick on toppings

15 minutes @ 180

Awesome pizza and easy to
Make. My kids make it every week.

Tesco have a lovely vegetarian one atm (it’s rectangular). Use by date is quite short so I’ve convinced myself that it MUST be healthier than other frozen pizzas. It’s v tasty
